When I was 14 I passed my Cookery O level exam including a strawberry gateau cake. Ever since then I have always made myself a strawberry gateau cake for my birthday but this is something else! It took me two days to make and I can feel a heart attack coming on! I'll blame you John! :)
Oh, John, that was wonderful seeing the people you shared this delish cake with! A personal touch much appreciated. Very humoristic too! I'll definitely try this cake. You definitely know how to simplify even the most intimidating looking recipes into something someone like me (having 2 left thumbs) would want to try.
Hi John. I made this Gateau for my wife's birthday today. Your demonstration made it so easy to follow and the end result....Out of this world. Everyone commented on how delicious it was. it's all down to your recipe. A big thanks John.
@@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade Hi John. It would've all the more difficult if the recipe was just from a book (not impossible though) but the video made it so easy as it's broken down in simple to follow stages as with all your recipes. Thanks again for the video, the cake made a special day all the more so. Graham.

I've just made it a second time with great results. This time it only took one day to make, for my daughters birthday with gluten free flour, which worked fine. Tip: if the mousse is too soft and runny put it in the fridge for 5 minutes, if it is too hard to spread microwave it for 20 seconds. Thank you again for your superb recipes John, as others have said, they are somewhat superior to the flash bang stuff you see on the telly.
I love watching your videos. You are very precise and explain step by step, even showing how you set the oven temperature. Please continue what you have been doing. Thank you!

Hi John, I just subscribed after watching 3 of your videos😇😍. You are obviously experienced baker and is kindhearted to show and impart your knowledge and skills to others which is very kind of you❤️. My gratitude 🙏. God bless you and your family ❤️ 🙏. Your vid is very knowledgeable and descriptive. The viewers like me as new learner will not get lost 🤣, means, your vid is easy to follow and especially you kindly put the ingredients on the screen which is very important. Could you please share the brand of your chocolate powder and the cocoa powder pls🙏🙏🙏. By the way, my first bake was just done yesterday with my 10-yr-old son, a Chocolate swiss roll, the whole family has enjoyed it. Some of it is still in the fridge for today . I am sure after few practice I can bake my family in the Philippines when going for a holiday. Buying desserts is expensive, own bake is joy, healthier and affordable 😄Thank you very much Jonh🙏❤️.
Thank you for your kind words Maria, and Welcome to the channel. The coco powder I use is Cadbury Bournville cocoa powder. Thanks for watching my friend. My latest video recipe. Here is the ingredients list and full written method on the channels website, Chicken Balti pies profoodhomemade.com/chicken-balti-pies/
This moose (or chocolate filling, I can't remember what it's called) is absolutely delicious. I made a vat of it (the recipe makes a lot), and, he's right, it makes a great dessert. It's rich enough that you don't need much of it before you're satisfied, so it'll probably take over a month to finish alone but... it's definitely worth it, and pretty easy (I was able to make it taste great first try, and I know almost nothing about baking). Note: I didn't have dark chocolate, so I just used Ghiradelli semisweet morsels, and they worked just fine, though a tiny bit sweeter than I think was intended. Also, when I poured the water into the saucepan to heat the sugar, it didn't even cover the whole bottom, so I was a bit worried that I mismeasured somehow, but the sugar made everything fill out perfectly and the sugar boiled just fine, if anyone else had a similar problem.

hello, i finally made this cake for work... i ended up doubling the cake recipe replacing the granulated sugar with castor... and used 90% dark (because i like it lol) for the mousse, anyway, short story is - this is delicious! so i was told by staff and a couple thought the cake was bought today. i used a hand mixer... i am more inclined to get a bench top mixer for the next one. thank you from new zealand for the informative video and recipe. my aunt is chuffed to have another choc. mousse recipe - if she had it her way she would have eaten the whole bowl by herself.

Hi John, I just subscribed after watching 3 of your videos😇😍. You are obviously experienced baker and is kindhearted to show and impart your knowledge and skills to others which is very kind of you❤️. My gratitude 🙏. God bless you and your family ❤️ 🙏. Your vid is very knowledgeable and descriptive. The viewers like me as new learner will not get lost 🤣, means, your vid is easy to follow and especially you kindly put the ingredients on the screen which is very important. Could you please share the brand of your chocolate powder and the cocoa powder pls🙏🙏🙏. By the way, my first bake was just done yesterday with my 10-yr-old son, a Chocolate swiss roll, the whole family has enjoyed it. Some of it is still in the fridge for today . I am sure after few practice I can bake my family in the Philippines when going for a holiday. Buying desserts is expensive, own bake is joy, healthier and affordable 😄Thank you very much Jonh🙏❤️.
Thank you for your kind words Maria, and Welcome to the channel. The coco powder I use is Cadbury Bournville cocoa powder.

Absolute beauty definitely one I’ll give a go 👍🏻
You make this in stages, then put it all together, good luck WW.
This moose (or chocolate filling, I can't remember what it's called) is absolutely delicious. I made a vat of it (the recipe makes a lot), and, he's right, it makes a great dessert. It's rich enough that you don't need much of it before you're satisfied, so it'll probably take over a month to finish alone but... it's definitely worth it, and pretty easy (I was able to make it taste great first try, and I know almost nothing about baking).
Note: I didn't have dark chocolate, so I just used Ghiradelli semisweet morsels, and they worked just fine, though a tiny bit sweeter than I think was intended. Also, when I poured the water into the saucepan to heat the sugar, it didn't even cover the whole bottom, so I was a bit worried that I mismeasured somehow, but the sugar made everything fill out perfectly and the sugar boiled just fine, if anyone else had a similar problem.
Thanks for the info Kira. much appreciated.
I dont call it a sponge, but a masterpiece!

Hi John ! Can I use cake flour or self raising flour instead of all purpose flour
Best to stick to the recipe my friend.
Fabulous john xxx
Hi John, I am italian from Rome and since I discovered you and your delicious recepies I have been watching all you recepies r all the time. i was wondering how tò make the cake using a whipped cream already sweetened and adjust the Sugar of the recepy.
i also have a 26cm mould. Do you think it
It could be alright?
Thank you so much, I appreciate so much what you do🙂
Yes, I think it should be fine. Thanks for watching my friend. Here is my latest bread video recipe, Rustic Country Loaf. You can find the ingredients list and full written method on my website. profoodhomemade.com/rustic-country-loaf/
Aw, looks delicious! I don't like chocolate cakes like Black Forest - usually because they have a black sponge and it's too bitter for me - but I'd be first in line for a slice of this! Yum. I'm sure the coffee morning was a huge success, it looks a nice retirement home 😀 x
👍
Looks as sweet as a Niall Quinn header into the top corner John...👍👍👍👍👍🏴🏴🏴
Thanks Allen, What a pair they were! Quinn and Phillips, wish they were back, as old as they are 🤣🤣🤣
That chocolate mousse looks so so good. 😍😍😍
It certainly is Clair, thanks again for watching.

John, absolutely mouthwatering. I am so hungry now. One quick question, I live in the dark ages and cannot source leaf gelatin in my town. I have powdered, how much would you say I should use of that as I do not want to over do it.
Many thanks I'm definitely making a practice one of these then one for Christmas.
Thanks again Jimmy, yeah you can use 7 grams of the powder or granules soaked in about 30mls of water.
@@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade many thanks John
Oh my! That looks heavenly!
Thanks again for watching Teresa.
Definitely I'll try it soon
Hope you enjoy my friend, do it in stages like I do in the video, don't try to do all at the same time.

Long time subscriber! I've used many of your bread recipes. Thanks again!
Just superb. is this the same as the black forest cake???
Similar, but not the same.
hello, i finally made this cake for work... i ended up doubling the cake recipe replacing the granulated sugar with castor... and used 90% dark (because i like it lol) for the mousse, anyway, short story is - this is delicious! so i was told by staff and a couple thought the cake was bought today. i used a hand mixer... i am more inclined to get a bench top mixer for the next one. thank you from new zealand for the informative video and recipe. my aunt is chuffed to have another choc. mousse recipe - if she had it her way she would have eaten the whole bowl by herself.

if I devide the cake mix between 4 mini cake tins which are 4inch wide 2inch deep will the baking time be the same as the large cake and by the way everything of yours I've tried has been a success ❤

I have made a gateau recipe that uses melted butter. Yours doesn't use butter or oil. What do you think butter/oil would do to the cake? Thanks again!
You do not use butter or oil in this recipe, this is a Genoise sponge, very light. Thank you for subscribing.
I look forward to attempting this. Thanks John
Yeah just take your time with each part, there's no rush with this recipe ;o).
looks great but I aint got the machine John and too expensive by the looks of it ,have you got a cheeper version.North east lad well 70 years

OMG what a amazing cake Mr John I live in America so can u please tell me the measurements in cup sizes I tryed making the scones but I think the measurements went wrong , thank u
Thanks again for watching yasmeen mazhar. much appreciated, sorry no idea what cup measurements are, you need digital scales for my recipes they are very cheap and extremely accurate.
@@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade OK thank u
Honestly Yasmeen you'll find a vast improvement in your cooking when the ingredients are correct, also weigh in grams, even more accurate as they are smaller units :o)
Oooh yes, more cake! Thank you John
Thanks Teps
Will this work okay if I use a good quality milk chocolate for the mousse filling please? x
Yes that'll be fine Su.
@@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade Thanks 🙂 x
